The Washington Nationals have exercised their $9 million option on Denard Span for the 2015 season.

Washington declined options on Adam LaRoche and Rafael Soriano.

Span hit .302 with 31 steals and tied for first in the National League with a franchise record 184 hits this past season.

LaRoche's deal included a $15 million mutual optional for next season, but Washington instead chose to pay him a $2 million buyout.

Soriano's contract included a $14 million club option for 2015.
